"Holiday" Brush Fire Is 100% Contained

A brush fire dubbed the "Holiday" fire west of U.S. Highway 27 and Everglades Holiday Park is one hundred is now 100 percent contained.

The fire started in southwest Broward County on Wednesday and had grown to more than 6,800 acres by Saturday morning. The flames prompted the evacuation of a fish camp on the edge of the Everglades. The camp owners used an airboat to pack down a 60- to 80-foot swath of vegetation to keep the flames from getting closer. Firefighters hosed down nearby mobile homes and land north of the camp to keep the fire away. A spokesman for the Florida Forest Service told the Sun Sentinel  the fire had spread between two and four miles from north to south. Dry weather, a shift in wind direction and humidity levels allowed the fire to grow.

Everglades Holiday Park was forced to close earlier this week because of the fire.
